Havana Club 7 years El ron de Cuba Rum 40%

Havana lends its name to the entire Cuban rum tradition, and 7 Años is where you really hear the history, the tobacco and the sweet tropical fruit speak.

Expert description

Havana Club 7 Años is a Cuban Rum matured for 7 years in ex-bourbon oak casks and bottled at 40%.

The rum comes from Havana Club, the most internationally recognised name in Cuban rum, produced according to a tradition dating back to 1934. 7 Años is the brand's more mature, darker expression, where the youngest rum in the blend has matured for at least seven years in casks that previously held American bourbon. The result is a dark, complex rum, far more serious than the lighter, white expressions of the brand.

Black pepper, coffee and vanilla fudge that linger on the palate long after the last sip.

Havana Club does not name its expressions after years in the bottle, but after the minimum age of the youngest rum in the blend. 7 Años is therefore a solera-inspired blend, where older and younger vintages meet.
